Excellent movie all the way through!

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2005)

The only reason i gave this movie a 9 is because the only movies truly deserving a 10 are The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Island captures your attention from the very beginning with awesome visual and sound special effects. The story is fresh, for a change, and the acting is well done all the way through. I even like Ewan McGregor in this movie, and he is not one of my favorite actors- i.e., if you have seen the new Star Wars movies, you'll know what I mean. The plot is fluent and understandable, and even the comic relief was well placed and effective. Scarlett Johansson puts in a great performance as a clone on the run, and Sean Bean is awesome as Dr. Merrick. I am a tough grader who has seen just about every sci-fi movie made-see it!
